Join our Legacy Circle
Make a plan to create a gift that will last a lifetime.
The BCNC Legacy Circle honors our cherished donors who have included BCNC in their will, trust, retirement account, or other planned gifts. Here are some common types of legacy gifts our donors make to support BCNC.
-
Charitable Bequest
-
You can make a provision in your will that provides a specific dollar amount or a percent of your estate to BCNC upon death. Large or small, a bequest is an easy and flexible way to support BCNC far beyond your lifetime.
When preparing or revising your will, please consider using the following wording to include a gift to BCNC: “I leave ($____ or x% of the residue of my estate to BCNC” whose legal address is “38 Ash Street, Boston, MA 02111.”

-
Qualified Charitable Distributions or other Retirement Assets
-
Make a gift of retirement assets, including 401 (k), 403 (b), IRA, or pension funds, and you may save your estate the burden of paying both estate and income taxes on those assets.
-
-
Trusts
-
Charitable remainder trusts offer supporters a source of income for themselves and their loved ones while they are alive as well as support BCNC.
-
-
Life Insurance
-
Name BCNC as a beneficiary and/or owner of a life insurance policy that you no longer need for its original purpose. Such a gift would entitle you to a current income tax deduction and would remove the asset from your estate, thus saving potential estate taxes as well.
-
-
Endowment
-
Consider a gift to our permanent endowment. All endowed funds are held permanently with generated income only to be used. By making a gift to BCNC’s endowment fund, you can permanently link your name to BCNC or pay tribute to loved ones through a gift in their honor.
